I am a spaniard who is absolutely in love with languages, education, affectivity, neuroscience and new technologies. I teach Spanish and English as foreign languages both to kids and (forever young) adults and also do research about language learning and cognitive neuroscience at the university. Meeting new people and travelling the world is not only my passion but also an unbounded gift I feel extremely grateful for! I love travel guides, cooking, dogs, photography, never ending chats with friends with a nice bottle of wine but above all, I love the magic in being alive.

Alicia and her friends stayed at "Sanctuary near Cathedral," our apartment in Washington, DC, in March 2012. They were whirlwind guests, staying just one night, so we are really hoping they will return to get a better taste of Washington. And if they do, we hope they will stay with us again!
